Well She had been in there for a while. BUT... The two hens that laid the eggs has been out of the box for a few hours eating and scratching the ground. Im guessing she has been sitting on them a total of 30 minutes. Cause they werent toasty... But they had cooled off and she was trying to warm them bad boys back up.

Pulled my broody Faverolles off a Cubalaya and an EE egg at roost time this afternoon.
I think she is starting to dislike me, always makes nasty noises at me when I reach in the nest box to pick her up.
